Did Adam and Eve Go to Heaven? (8 of 61)
In the Beginning
Pastor Jeff Schreve
Primary Scripture: Genesis 3:20-24
If you have your Bible, turn to Genesis chapter 3. We've been in Genesis chapter 3 for a number of weeks because it's such a rich chapter.
A seminary professor was talking to his class, and he said, "What are the two great surprises that every Christian will experience in heaven?" The first great surprise: You will be surprised at who is not there. Second great surprise: You will be surprised at who is there. The two great surprises.

Chris mentioned to me just a minute ago, "You know, I've never really thought about that." Did Adam and Eve go to heaven? Will you see Adam and Eve in heaven? Are they going to be the ones that are not there or the ones that are there? Does the Bible even tell us that, because the Bible doesn't tell us a lot about Adam and Eve in terms of their conversations or things like that. We read in Genesis 2 about Adam and Eve. Adam doesn't say a whole lot. "This is now bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called Woman because she was taken out of Man." That's kind of the only thing he says. And then when they sin and the eyes of both of them ar ...
